The food, service and ambiance was as I not as expected because it far from it!!!! The lobster and mushroom tacos had so much flavor as well with the avocado, shrimp and mango ceviche. Oh! I'm not a fan of flan but their chocoflan was good . I'm glad it wasn't sweet. Our waiter, Melvin, was very knowledgeable of all the food questions I had. Highly recommend!!!!!
It was nice to visit this location. Our server John is great he's making sure that our orders are on the way. It's kinda busy day coz it's taco Tuesday. The ambience is great as usual.
Puesto is a little pricey but totally worth it! Everything was delicious. The food came out fast and very well presented. Our server was attentive too, coming back every once in a while asking how we were doing. Go try it out!!
Been a minute since I been here. We had reservations for Sunday but didn't need them. We arrived early and were seated at noon. We were the only ones in the main dining area. We ordered two chips with salsa and had to pay for them. Salsa was tasty and asked for one with a bit more kick. It was spicier but less taste and better if you combined the two. Two of us ordered a #BloodyMary $17. I liked mine but my friends commented they would have liked theirs thicker. I ordered #CevicheVerde $18 and had to ordered more chips to go with it but wasn't charged for them. I ordered light as I had an early dinner engagement. The ceviche had a lot of avocados and I didn't really taste the fish. The Japanese peanuts were an unusual add. I liked that they smashed them a bit. They gave it a crunch. Good thing I am a fan of of these peanuts and avocados The rest of my party ordered tacos No comments from them but 3 cleared their plates and two did not They do add a 4% service fee Total bill $46.23 (without chips and salsa). All good but a bit overpriced for what I experienced.
First time here and not the last. I made reservations for taco Tuesday. Got there and it was for the next day, but the hostess took care of it and got us in for same time. Atmosphere was nice. Restaurant was busy, noise level was loud but not bad and dim lights. Shane was our waiter and he was on top of things. He helped us pick drinks from the bar. We ordered our dinner and Shane informed us it was taking some time due to taco Tuesday. We didn't mind. The food and cocktails were tasty. There was 3 guys standing by bar and too close to us standing in the way. Shane asked the bartenders to help and they didn't. So he got a manager. She came over and took care of it.
